1. Slice the onions into very thin rounds. Put 34 tbsp extra virgin
olive oil in a heavy skillet and bring to medium high heat. Saute the onion
rings until just starting to turn golden. Remove from skillet and set
aside.

2. Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers and slice into julienne
strips. Break the florets of cawliflower into bite size pieces. Thinly
slice the mushrooms and make matchstick slices of the zucchini. Place all
the cut or sliced up veggies into the skillet and saute until just starting to turn
limpabout 4 minutes or so. Remove from the skillet and drain well.

3. Mix together the eggs, flour, milk, salt and pepper and whip with a
wisk until very frothy.

4. Use a deep quiche dish or a 10" deep dish pie plate. Spray well with an
olive oil cooking spray. Wash the basil and spinach and pat dry with a
paper towel. Line the cooking dish with the basil and spinach so that the
points of the leaves overlap the edge of the dish by about 1/2". Spray
lightly again so that the leaves stay together. Gently pour about the 1/4
of the egg mixture over the leaves.

Place about One fourth of the veggies into the cooking dish, making sure they are
spread around. Sprinkle a handful of the parmesan cheese over all. Repeat
the eggs, veggies and cheese until the dish is filled and you have ended
with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until doneabout 2530 minutes. The eggs
will really puff up, the tips of the spinach and basil will turn a little
brown and the cheese forms a nice crusty top on the quiche.

During the summer when our vegetable garden is at its peak, I substitute
other veggies such as eggplant and hot peppers and green beans and leeks
for the onions.
